Abstract A new thin and wideband RCS reduction metasurface is designed and fabricated by using two different AMC unit cell tiles arranged in chessboard like configuration. One of these tiles is formed by saltire arrow unit cells, whereas the other one is formed by Jerusalem unit cells which are designed to achieve out phase difference at broad frequency range. This metasurface reduces the RCS more than 10-dB from 15.75 GHz to 41.3 GHz (90% bandwidth). The designed metasurface works properly at both TE and TM propagation modes, also. Moreover, it has stable 10-dB RCS reduction bandwidth for TM propagation mode up to 50° oblique incident angle and 30° for TE ones. These good specifications prove the designed metasurface capability compared with the state of the art references.
